ByteDance relies on Huawei chips: AI revolution in the shadow of sanctions!

ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, is turning the tables! Facing strict US restrictions on NVIDIA's advanced AI chips, the company is now switching to Huawei to develop its latest AI model. According to insider information, ByteDance plans to use Huawei's Ascend 910B chips to train a large language model. Who gets the lead role here? The Chinese government is increasing pressure on local companies to stay away from NVIDIA in order to strengthen national manufacturers and minimize the influence of American sanctions.

But the challenge remains: Although ByteDance has already ordered over 100,000 Ascend chips, delivery of fewer than 30,000 chips by July is not sufficient to meet demand. The slow pace of delivery is hampering the development of the new AI model - a situation that is putting pressure on ByteDance as the popularity of its AI-based applications grows rapidly. The ByteDance chatbot already has over 10 million monthly active users and is becoming the leading player in the Chinese market. The future of AI technology now depends critically on how quickly ByteDance can overcome supply bottlenecks and rely on Huawei's solutions.

The situation is tense, and what's at stake here isn't just the power of ByteDance's AI - it's a race for dominance in the tech industry. More on this in a detailed report on www.finanzen.ch.
